Viktor Hedefalk commented on NET-405:
-------------------------------------

I just struck this problem when on a IPv6 network. My use case is similar ti Mickaël's - I have a config on my webapp declaring an IP-range considered the "home net" from where you are allowed to log in. The way I use it, I got a runtime when client has v6 address:

{code} 
Message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not parse [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0]
	org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils.toInteger(SubnetUtils.java:229)
	org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils.access$400(SubnetUtils.java:28)
	org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils$SubnetInfo.isInRange(SubnetUtils.java:116)
{code} 

I will probably just catch this and say "user is NOT in range" since the range is v4 anyways, but it would be nice to allow v6 in the future.

> Currently, we cannot use org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils with IPv6 addresses. This class will become less and less useful as more internet device are only assigned IPv6 addresses since all available IPv4 address blocks have now been attributed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion
